Why reuse your frames?

New lenses will give new life to your glasses and help save the planet.

We are now all aware that the planet is collapsing under the weight of the waste we produce and a large proportion of the plastics thrown into nature, on the side of the road and sometimes even in our trash cans end up in the sea… So even if we don’t claim to save the planet, we sincerely believe that each of us can adopt, at our own pace, more virtuous behavior.

When it comes to your glasses, we understand that after 2-3 years of use, you may become tired of their style. Give them a facelift by changing the glasses. Just putting on mirrored glasses, for example, will completely change their appearance… It’s a small decision for you, but if everyone does it, it will really have an impact!

Let’s save limited resources!

We live in a world with resources that are not unlimited, despite what our Western lifestyle may lead us to believe. We are not surprised to turn on our kitchen faucet and see drinking water flowing… this is not really the case everywhere on the planet!

So recycling your waste, repairing your household appliances or simply reusing your glasses helps to reduce the use of resources.

Modestly, METAOPTICS contributes to this by choosing a dry glass cutting machine. It’s only a few thousand liters of water saved per year, but we think that it’s not neutral…

Buy less but buy better!

As you may have noticed, quality glasses are not necessarily cheap. However, it is still worth the investment because manufacturers often have spare parts that allow you to refurbish your glasses at a lower cost.

Buying a really low-end product is not necessarily a good calculation in the long term because you will have to renew it more often, with the ecological impact that we know…

Reducing our carbon footprint…

Mining, metallurgy, manufacturing chains and the shipping of our everyday products all have a significant impact on CO2 emissions and therefore on global warming.

By selecting better quality products, more virtuous in their designs and distributions, and by making them last, we take concrete action on the production cycle and its negative impacts.

And finally, what if we gave a little more meaning to our consumption?

Save money!

Replacing your eyeglass lenses can save you a lot of money. Depending on your prescription and choice of options, you can save up to 50% off the cost of a complete new set! This is not insignificant in these times…

When reading this page, you may feel that someone is trying to make you feel bad. This is not our intention at all; we simply believe that all of us, individually, can have an impact on our ecosystem. So, whatever our motivation (philosophical, ecological, economic), the important thing is to be more aware of our way of consuming.

We are sure that the day you give new life to your glasses bought 3 years ago, with brand new lenses, you will have that little boost of motivation that will help you pedal harder on hills or run longer…
